I have a controller action that is triggered by a GET route, which under some conditions, I want to redirect to the POST route of another app on another server.
I’m aware of redirect_to "http://somewhere.com/thing_to_post_to" but there doesn’t seem to be a way of specifying the http method. This intended for AJAX requests not pages, so it isn’t acceptable to return a javascript to direct the browser.
Is this possible?
redirect_to uses HTTP status code to make the redirection, so it would likely be a GET, here’s antoher explanation to use 307 status code
Response.Redirect with POST instead of Get?
but is not very well implemented among all browsers, so i suggest using a session variable to pass parameters among the views or something similar.
